Chapter 11

Seto's POV

I stood in the bathroom, staring at the two vials of cyan blue liquid.

I know the others were going to be happy when Ian told them we had finished the potion, but what I forgot about is that the potion can only be used on one of us, and one of Mitch and Jerome.

It's confusing, but the point is-it's going to be an issue of who gets to see the truth.

Ian, Sky, Ty, Tyler, and Quentin rushed into the room. "Oh my god." Ty whispered hoarsely.

"Yeah." I said.

"That's it?" Quentin asked.

"Yes. Now, um, ok. So you see two vials right now, that is the memory potion. But, only one of us can take it and see Jerome or Mitch's memory. Either of them have to take the other potion. So...who is it gonig to be?"

Quentin and Tyler immediately backed away. "We're going to the Hub soon to get Jerome back. Unless you think Mitch will take the potion more willingly than Jerome..." Tyler trailed off.

I nodded. "I think we should give the potion to Mitch. Are we all good with that?"

Sky frowned. "Um, well, don't you think we should get to know Jerome's side of the story too?" We all turned to look at him. "But," Ian said. "Mitch may know more than Jerome, since he was the one who ran off first at the convention." Sky opened his mouth, as if he was about to argue back, but then Ty put a hand on his shoulder. "Stop. No more fighting please. Can we please do Mitch? I'll take the potion, and I'll figure out the truth. Okay?" Ty looked up at Sky with pleading eyes, and Sky immediately seemed to soften.

"Ok." He said finally, grabbing Ty's hand tightly.

I nodded. "Alright. Tyler, Quentin, you guys go get Mitch who's probably with Preston, so go to him first. If not, then go to Matt. We'll give you their coordiantes. Bring Mitch back, and do whatever it takes for him to get back here." 

They both nodded, and quickly left the apartment. 

I stayed over at the window to see them get into a car, and drive off. Sky and Ty went to Ty's room, probably to get some private time. 

Meanwhile, Ian came over and stood next to me. "Hey." He said softly. 

I turned to look at him. "I don't understand. Why are we making such a big deal of this? We're not 12-year old girls for fucks sake! Why are we making our lives so dramatic?" I yelled. 

Seriously. Whatever Mitch and Jerome had going on needed to be resolved in a mature way, because already, their actions affect their close ones around them. I can't stand it, and I'm just so annoyed at them. "They need to grow up." I mutter, feeling Ian grab my hand and make a noise of agreement.

"Yeah. They really do need to."

Jerome's POV

Me and Preston sat across from each other in his house. It was silent in the room, and I felt like I could chop through the tension as easily as Betty could go through my opponents. It was just so awkward.

"So..." I began to say. "You've basically liked me ever since 7th grade? All the years we spent together, wtih and without Mitch, you liked me? As in, you wanted to kiss me, and hold me, and be my boyfriend?"
